Retarded. He’s censoring the word retarded, for anyone also confused.

You can say retarded. Especially when literally referring to the word itself? No one is going to arrest you.

For the record the new offensive phrase is “sped”, because the euphemism treadmill doesn’t stop and focusing on words instead of subject matter is pointless.

Doesn’t show removed on my end, but wouldn’t surprise me.

I like the cut of your jib, Tex.

It’s a well cut jib, methinks
